I loved Wake Forest and see it as the best decision of my life. I find now, that I am in graduate school, the rigorous courses really prepared me for higher expectations. I find that being a Wake Forest alumnus opens some doors. Grade deflation does exist but is not terribly bad.

I'm extremely happy to say I'll be Demon Deacon for life once I graduate. Sure, not everyone in the universe has heard of WFU, but once you come out of here you are prepared to take on anything and people realize this. It's not uncommon for Wake grads to compete against Ivy Leaguers for jobs or grad school spots. While our GPAs may be somewhat lower, most people are aware of this. I've heard some companies even add .5 to our GPAs before comparing us to other candidates. The sporting events are also great. Tickets are free and relatively easy to get a hold of.

God, this must be weird alumnus week. Anyway, here goes. I speak for that oxymoron of oxymorons: the hypersexual Wake Forest student. Oh, and I vote Republican, thank you. But it’s not just my case in point. Again and again I find it impossible to tell the gay from the straight from celibate at Wake Forest University. Everyone to a tee seems to have the stamp of decorous intelligence. Until... Get him off to yourself, assure him the doors, windows, and walls are sealed faultless, and—would you know it!--your tidy George Will has some creative ways with Miracle Whip. I don’t know, it may be good manners to compartmentalize like this. Even considerate at times. But strolling across campus one is left to wonder of the varieties of sexuality beyond the perfectly respectable brand.

I think when I went there the tuition (including a dorm room) might have been $3000 per semester. There was leeway at the time to be happy go lucky—and I was. I didn’t hesitate a minute to pursue some spontaneous intellectual curiosity and let the courses I was paying for wait. I developed a great fondness for literature in extremis, and must have read every book in Reynolda library that explored sexual perversion, crime, or mental illness. Though a free spirit by Wake Forest standards, I rarely drank (except for one 16 oz. Budweiser every Friday night) and never used drugs. I did, however, start to drink coffee by the tank car at Wake Forest. Then came cigars,occasionally at first but now to the point (30 years later) I can hardly think without one in my mouth. Probably the one good habit that I developed at Wake Forest was a fondness for apples. I was on a tight budget and apples were cheap and easy to eat on the go. Nothing reminds me more of Wake Forest than eating an apple.
